I give you the 11 worst things in the world ever[^].
#11 is particularly awful and don't scroll down that far if you are eating and/or drinking. If you d get to #11, I recommend you start drinking heavily to remove the thought.
Enjoy!
Especially #11!

I like #7. But I don't understand what #8 is about.
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

I've had nights like that shown in #7 - but I always used a screwdriver rather than a knife and the handle prevented that failure. But not the wine redecorating the ceiling...

Number 11 is easy to fix. Lock him in Oscar Pistorius' toilet.

Because you don't have any sock puppet accounts?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Basically the red triangle-ish thing (looks like part of the manufacturer's sticker) is a plastic widget called a plectrum. It's used to pluck the strings, and pretty hard to remove (I'd assume) if dropped in the sound hole.

Unstring the guitar and reach in the hole?

+5 
but first i would try the following pattern:
"Shaken, not stirred"

Sounds like that'd work. Never played guitar, do the strings stretch if they are used more than once?

Good question, hence my "?"

Not that much, and the tuning screws are there to adjust the tension of the string.

That a UK English thing, or is that the proper name? Only ever called it a "pick".

Plectrum appears in Wikipedia, as does guitar pick. Perhaps plectrum is a formal name for it, could well be a Britishism? I do know it is normally abbreviated to "plec".

If I'm reading that right, a pick is a specific type of plectrum. A pick is always a plectrum, a plectrum is not always a pick. Mystery solved.

It's called a "pick" and it's a trivial exercise to remove. Turn the guitar upside down, shake. Out falls pick. Continue playing.

Since I've steadfastly refused to watch #11, I have no issues purging it from my mind.

Oh I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!
I wish to complain about these Post-It Notes, what I purchased not half an hour ago.
I wrote on one, stuck it to my monitor and it doesn't work! Nothing got posted here!
Can I have my money back?

Look my lad, I've had just about enough of this. That Post-It is definitely deceased. And when I bought it not half an hour ago, you assured me that its lack of movement was due to it being tired and shagged out after a long QA solution!
